Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Paul Maynard and Marco Longhi

Monday 5th February 2024 Commons Chamber

[Marco Longhi (Dudley North) (Con)]

T9. In 2005, the DWP failed to make a reasonable decision about targeting information at the women affected by state pension age changes. The ombudsman ruled that there was maladministration. These women, in Dudley and around the country, deserve more than just an apology. Does the Minister accept these findings, and if not, will he explain why not?

[Paul Maynard]

The Department is co-operating with the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman investigation, which is ongoing, and it would not be appropriate to comment on it or the outcome.
